Part 2 redeemed it for me, I didn't dig part 1 that much. I'm not into the fake ass fighting either, but thats part of the old school Hong Kong style that the director was trying to portray. All in all though I've seen them both twice but haven't really been dying to watch them again anytime soon.
At present I'd have to say Hero was my favorite 'martial arts' movie, which was imported to the US by Quentin Tarantino who removed 17 minutes of footage. I have only seen the overseas version, which was excellent. The Tony Jaa (Ong Bak, etc) movies are also great, although they lack the storyline of Hero.
